Abstract
Various implementations include a method of manufacturing one or more devices. The method includes obtaining a base portion of a non-shape-memory metal, disposing one or more shape-memory metal portions along the base portion, and joining at least a first layer of the non-shape-memory metal to the base portion using ultrasonic additive manufacturing. The shape-memory metal portions are disposed along a first base surface of the base portion. The shape-memory metal portions have a first portion contacting the base portion and a second portion spaced apart from the first portion and extending from the base portion. The first layer is joined to the base portion using ultrasonic additive manufacturing and has a first layer surface that is joined to the first base surface. The first layer surface contacts the shape-memory metal portions when the first layer is joined to the base portion.
